Something you are neglecting is when there is higher reserve staffing there are many pilots who can hold a line who bid reserve with the idea of getting full pay for not working. Since there were SILs in your category there are likely pilots like that in your category who wouldn't do it if SILs were awarded since reserves would fly more. In fact, lines may very well go more junior without SILs present. The numbers point to SILs being bad for reserves overall, especially since they reduce the number of days off for all the reserves (eliminating the extra X day).

I thought the same also, but in a sample size of 1 category, that was not the case. Six "senior" pilots bid reserve in June when there were no SILs offered. 13 bid reserve in July with 25hr SILs offered and 14 bid reserve in August when 40hr SILs were offered. *This was not an exhaustive analysis, just a quick driveby of the data in one category.

I think the company's admission of being overstaffed, by offering SILs, drew attention to the fact the reserves weren't being utilized and it went senior to where it had before. What used to be a secret known only to those on reserve was publicized for all to read about.

Gdl can be a great overnight in the right areas. But with that mentality, the only places we will fly in Mexico is mex sjd cun and pvr
If there was a press release that said Aeromexico is now doing all cun and sjd flights to the states and delta will now be doing Leon, Monterey and ciudad Juarez
I bet people would pay more attention.

The next thing that is going to happen is westjet is going to start flying into our hubs and parking right next to us from mid sized Canadian cities. Both Aeromexico and westjet have 20 Dreamliners on order.
The reason these are more dangerous than our other jv is that they surround our borders. Passengers can now go to Toronto or Mexico City instead of dtw msp or atl
Vancouver instead of Seattle
List goes on

Writing the word "conduct" is not an answer.

You are accusing one or more reps of misconduct.

So be SPECIFIC.

What is the misconduct?

I am not going to post here. We will leave it at they were less then courteous to company leadership without any reason. You can contact your reps if you want more info. I am told that the issue has been addressed with the reps involved. I have no knowledge of what the union leadership has done to address it.
